Piraeus to Kastellorizo Route Map
Piraeus to Megisti, better known as Kastellorizo, is the longest scheduled ferry in Greece, running to somewhere between twenty and twenty-three hours on Blue Star's Blue Star Patmos. The ship calls at a string of Dodecanese islands on the way, which is what stretches the passage out. A cabin is essential rather than optional on a crossing of this length.
Kastellorizo is Greece's easternmost inhabited island, sitting just off the Turkish coast near Kas. The port town wraps around a small bay in a tight arc of pastel neoclassical houses, and it is as pretty a harbour as you will find in the Dodecanese. People come for the seafront tavernas, the swimming and the Blue Cave along the coast, and the island gained a following through the film Mediterraneo.
Sailings are infrequent, a couple over a fortnight, and fares start around ninety-three euros. Current departures and prices are shown in the table below. Most visitors fly from Rhodes instead, a short hop, or take the small boat across from Kas in Turkey.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Piraeus?
Yes, several agencies meet passengers directly at the ferry gates (E1 to E12), so there is no need to arrange transport into central Athens first. It suits travellers continuing on to the mainland rather than islanders, since central Athens is only 20 minutes away and has good metro and bus links. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Piraeus to Kastellorizo ferry
- Piraeus port is large, with departure gates E1 to E10 spread along the waterfront – allow extra time to find yours, as it can be a 15–20 minute walk from the metro station, and check the gate number printed on your ticket.
- Ferries to the Saronic islands – Aegina, Hydra and the nearby islands – depart from Gate E8, while Cyclades sailings (Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Naxos) leave from gates in the E6–E10 range, so double-check your specific gate on arrival.
- Take Metro Line 1 or Line 3 to Piraeus station, then use the free shuttle bus that circulates around the port roughly every 10–15 minutes, linking the metro to all gates – useful if your ferry departs from a distant terminal such as E2 or E3.
- There is no parking inside the port itself, so if you are driving, use one of the private car parks nearby rather than looking for a space at the gate; ticket booths at each gate can print e-tickets if you have not already.
- On routes where two or more operators compete, compare prices and journey times – the price difference for vehicles can be particularly significant.
